Employer research, Jul 28, 2026

  1. You can enter through the New Grad RN Residency (PTAP-accredited across Medical City Healthcare), with start dates lined up July–December 2026 and earlier Q4 cohorts already graduating.

  2. Magnet recognition and a system-wide professional practice model mean you are expected to grow into education, research, process improvement, and leadership committees—not stay frozen in one role.

  3. You land in a 311-bed Level II Trauma hospital that just opened a $50M Medical Plaza and is mid-build on a $142M tower adding med-surg, step-down, ICU, and women’s capacity—while Texas takes no state income tax and honors compact licenses.

From nurses, to nurses

Lean on the people who have been here longer than you, and never write off a good nursing assistant.

Three or four years went by before the overwhelmed feeling lifted, and close to six before I felt expert at the bedside. Measure this in years, not months.
